Does anyone know what model of carburettor was fitted to the 1932 model L-3? This is the 350 OHV engine in the lightweight cycle parts only produced for '32.

I'm guessing that it was orinigally a type 76, but I really want to know what model 276 carburettor will do the job.

The type 4 5 and 6 were bronze bodied.

Body material changed to mazac about 1932 and the carbs became the type 74, 75 and 76.

Information from interesting paper attached.
